Congratulations, @Sloan_Lab and team. Glad to contribute to this wonderful study!
Very excited to share our lab's latest work exploring the shared and divergent aspects of human astrocyte development and glioblastoma. This effort spans many fields from developmental glial biology to stem cells and tumor biology. rdcu.be/d5ADz A 🧵(also come to 🦋!)

Wang, Li and coll. identify in the cortex of Alzheimer's disease mice models and human patients a dysregulated circRNA signature associated with the pathological mechanisms leading to neurodegenerative progression. Read the full paper here: genomemedicine.biomedcentral… @BingYaoLab

Our results not only provide a common mechanism underlying genome-wide DNA modification dysregulation across several neurodegenerative disorders involved in TDP-43 proteinopathies, but also point to a general genomic roles RNA-binding proteins in brain functions and diseases.

Exciting updates for users of BrainRNAseq.org ! The site may look the same at first glance, but it has been completely rebuilt from the ground up with important features!
